Sleep Apnoea Forum Bringing Help + Support to the Patient

Please will all UK Sleep Apnoea Sufferers fill in the British Lung Foundations' Online Survey?  It is the first survey done of this kind and involves answering questions on your symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, with a view to improving services for OSA across the UK.  Oh, and you might even win a £25 Marks & Spencer's Voucher as a thank you!

Here's the direct link to the survey www.blf.org.uk/osasurvey and thank you for your time.

I've filled in the survey and found it interesting reflecting on how I felt before treatment + just how long it actually took me to finally get on therapy.  Of course I ticked the box to say I'd like to win the M & S Voucher too

I've done the survey too and also found it interesting in the same way as you Kath . Some questions wee a little awkward to answer but only because I have not yet been using Cpap for 12 months.

Thanks Steven - no wonder BLF said they'll find it interesting reading, as I found it interesting doing it, and will look forward to receiving results of the survey, as I ticked that box too!

yes i filled it in thanks

Just as i was finishing the last page ......... my computer shut down! No idea if result went through or not :-(

How annoying Gadabout Things like that often happen to me too!

Dun it Kath

The M&S vouchers are already in my pocket!!

Sorry Phil, but I got there first lol

I've filled in the survey Kath.  I also  found some questions tricky to answer... mainly because although I had heard of OSA several years ago, I was then only concerned about my excessve snoring.  I was not fully aware of ALL symptoms of OSA (some of which I also had), until a couple of years ago, when I was diagnosed.

Filled it in Kath!   found it quite simple but the questions on diagnosis are a bit confusing as I (and other SA people I know) were seeing their GP's with other things well before it was even suspected.  and of course I ticked the box to say I would go in the box for the M&S vouchers!  (which I will probably donate to the tombola for HSASG  if lucky!)

all done

just try starting it again if it went through you will get a message  'already completed'

Soft Cap

some time ago I was told that Hope2Sleep was researching a replacement for the discontinued Soft Cap.. as I have seen nothing to indicate moving forward on this, would I be right in assuming you decided it is no longer relevant?See More

CPAP Total Face Mask

I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More

Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind

HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More
